BREAKING: Scott Walker Drops Out

[Vigilante]

The Donald, if elected will probably HURT the koch Bros. financially! No wonder he wasn't invited!

 

[candycorn]

I think he was never really POTUS material with no college degree. But I think he was shocked at the amount of venom involved in the race. One of those who thought he was "battle tested" when he really wasn't.

My favorite comment about Walker was when RS said he looked like an "over-dressed beat cop" whose lone attribute was that he was the only candidate in the field naturally meaner than Donald Trump.

 

[1treedancer]

All the rightwinger "Smart People" assured us he was a shoo-in.

My money is on Chris Christie's being the next to go.

I would say soon but not before Iowa.

He's one of the three that could compete with HRC all other thing being equal. He and Bush are wholesalers; the hug a widow, kiss a baby stuff is cringeworthy for them but give them a camera, some backlighting and a teleprompter and they are incredibly convincing and effective (to those who can be convinced anyway).

Christie is an odd fit for Iowa and NH because of that. The 3rd contest is SC. Not a good fit for him either. I'm picturing him standing in puddles of sweat giving a speech. So I think he is not winning the first 3 big contests. Usually that spells trouble.

The third is Rubio but not for his talent; electoral math favors him to a degree. Piercing the Clinton firewall across the upper mid-west is going to be a chore. Educated voters are going to look at him and probably giggle. It's clear he's not ready for prime time. But he may be half way there because he could carry FL and it's . IF he doesn't win SC, he's through but if he does, it sets up nicely for him. He better do well in the first two contests to set up SC. Of course, FL comes after Super Tuesday. Winning SC 11 days before gives him a good spring board for Super Tuesday which features NC, VA, AL, GA. He won't win all of them. But he will likely win some of them. More importantly is that you'll see pragmatic candidates drop out after Super Tuesday. Rubio will get their donors in many cases.

Christie's staff will in the middle of copping a plea for leniency by the time the SC primary starts.That,s not good even in a republican primary. Rubio might be strong if he gets whats left of the koch money behind him.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

So I was right to call him Dead Man Walkering.

Oh well. Its not like he'll be missed - except by the Koch's. My bet is they can find some other whore to nod yes to everything they want.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

A rewarding day for labor.

Not really. He is still the Governor of Wisconsin.

Yep.

The working class people of Wisconsin are in mourning tonight.

CRUZ? CRUZ???!!!!! No way. I'll lay down a million internet dollars.

Cruz is winning in the money race. He is setting up grass roots organizations in the states. Trump will destruct shortly as media attention is waning.

We'll see.. Cruz will have to appeal to more then just evangelicals though, and his policies are literally bat shit insane.. He's an authoritarian evangelical nut job.

If you say they are bat shit insane that is a sure sign they are dead on target. After the disaster the Democrats have created in foreign and domestic policy we need a strong leader like Cruz to set things right.

Cruz.. Cruz knows nothing about foreign policy, he knows nothing about the Iran deal:

Cruz strikes me more as a political tactician rather than a political strategist. He doesn't think very far ahead. He doesn't have exit strategies and he doesn't establish the base of support he needs to do......well, anything. If you look at the positions he's advocated his record of failure is essentially perfect.

Though he has decent name recognition I guess.

Cruz is so busy humping Duh Donuld's leg, he doesn't have time for his own campaign. Its how he covers up his own ignorance of issues. Trump doesn't know the issues and never states his position. That's good enough for Cruz.

He's just Trump Lite.

 

[EriktheRed]

One can only hope.. If he doesn't, well, that'll be a good thing, guaranteed dem victory.

LOL!
Dems will not win this election. Their candidates suck, a mix of the criminal, the insame, and the criminally insane.
No, Cruz will win this.

CRUZ? CRUZ???!!!!! No way. I'll lay down a million internet dollars.

Cruz seems unlikely.

I'd say impossible, he is pushing for evangelicals, a dieing part of the base..

There's also very little evidence that Cruz has the kind of support to get the nomination, let alone win the presidency. Often supporters of a particular candidate will confuse what they want to happen with what the evidence actually suggests. And the evidence doesn't suggest a Cruz victory.

Don't worry any polls not favoring him can always be "unskewed".

Worked so well last Presidential election, right?

LOL. Sure Tell yourself that.
The Left is terrified of Cruz.

More accurately, you imagine the left is terrified of Cruz. Because then at least Cruz would be relevant. The left doesn't give a shit about Cruz. As there's no indications he has any significant chance of winning either the nomination or the presidency.

Nor can you present any. You're arguing your emotions. Not the evidence.

Somehow I don't think he gives a shit and is just gonna say this to get you to argue the opposite with him.

IOW, he's trolling with this.

True enough. Though this isn't specifically a republican thing. During the 2004 election democrats did the same thing. They insisted that polls that showed a Bush victory were skewed by an over representation of republicans in the polls. They failed to take into account that more people were self identifying as republican in 2004, so the 'overrepresenation' was actually the electorate at the time.

The republicans made the exact same mistake in 2012. Its a desperation move, regardless of party. The election equivilant of the stink of death in the air, or a bucket full of chum in the water.

I'll stick with the evidence as an indicator of electoral victory. its far more reliable than emotions.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Cruz will be next.

 

[Political Junky]

So big of Scott to give his one half of one percent to another candidate.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

Now what am I gonna do with these 300 "Walker/Rubio" Lawn signs????

 

[Vandalshandle]

I think that Walker should start a union for republican presidential dropouts, in order to demand better press coverage.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Bye bye Lazy Eye. I guess even the vermin on the Right can't stomach someone as anti-working class as Scott Walker.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Remember when the GOP propagandists used to boast about their 'deep bench' of candidates?

Creepy Walker was always one they pointed to when they made that claim.

 

[hortysir]

A shame.

The rare Con that stood up to, fought and won against the left....
I thought huckleberry would bow out before Walker

He attacked workers rights....good by asshole!!!!!

Graham and/or Jindal are next.

probably, then Rand Paul. Trump/Rubio ------------------- 16 years of conservative, intelligent, sane, fiscally respojnsible LEADERSHIP.

LMAO yeah sure....Rubio wants amnesty never gonna happen...

LOL! Yeah Obama was fighting for the poor. That's why there are so many more of them.
People believe that shit.

I'm not derailing this thread to start this stupid shit again.

Thanks.
Yes, a shame about Walker. But sometimes it just isnt the right time or circumstance.
Trump will dry up and blow away before year end.

One can only hope.. If he doesn't, well, that'll be a good thing, guaranteed dem victory.

LOL!

No, Cruz will win this.

I hate all the republican candidates but Cruz belongs in a fucking psych ward in a straight jacket. He is absolutely NUTS and fanatically dedicated to Israel first not the US on top of being a Canadian...that SOB near the nukes we have scares the shit out of me.

One doesn't have a right to a guaranteed lifetime job, on the backs of taxpayers, regardless of performance

Everyone should be guaranteed a job. Course there should be ways to get rid of bad workers and there ALWAYS is.

 

[rightwinger]

With Walker out...will anyone notice?
